I. UNIVERSITY CHARGES.
Under the first head are included (a) the university fee, $40 ($10 for Virginians
in the Academic Departments, $20 for Virginians in the Department of
Engineering), and (b) the contingent deposit, $10; as well as (c) certain
special fees which may or may not be incurred, namely: 1. The special entrance
examination fee of five dollars; 2. The delayed registration fee of three dollars;
3. The reöxamination fee of five dollars.
(a) The university fee goes to the fund intended to defray the general
expenses of the University. Payment of this fee entitles the student, without
additional charge, to the use of the Library; to the privileges of the Gymnasium,
with baths, private lockers, etc., and the advice and aid of the Physical Training
Staff (see page 224); and to free medical attendance by the University Physician
in case of illness (see page 82). It also covers all regular examination and
diploma fees.
(b) The contingent deposit is intended to cover any damage to university
property for which the student is responsible, and any fines incurred by violating
the rules of the Library. (See page 218.) It is returned at the end of the
session, less any charges that may have been made against it.
From this deposit there will be deducted the sum of two dollars for the
support of the chapel services and general religious work of the University,
unless within one month after registration the student shall request the Bursar
not to deduct this amount. It will be observed that this sum (which is less than
the average contribution made by the students who have subscribed to the
chapel fund in past years) is not a necessary expense, as the support of the
religious work of the University is entirely optional. This method of collection
is intended merely as a substitute for the canvass formerly made, and it is the
desire of the faculty that the students thus unite with them in maintaining the
religious work of the University.
(c) 1. The special entrance examination fee of five dollars is required
of any candidate admitted to a special entrance examination, under the provisions
set forth on page 64.
2. The delayed registration fee of three dollars is required of any student
who fails to register promptly at the beginning of the session or after the
Christmas recess, under the provisions set forth on page 80.
3. The reöxamination fee of five dollars is required of any student admitted
to reöxamination in the college, under the provisions set forth on page
139.
